Design, implement, and execute continuous delivery pipelines with a level of flexibility, control, and ease of maintenance that was not possible with Jenkins before. With this practical book, build administrators, developers, testers, and other professionals will learn how the features in Jenkins 2 let you define pipelines as code, leverage integration with other key technologies, and create automated, reliable pipelines to simplify and accelerate your DevOps environments.
Author Brent Laster shows you how Jenkins 2 is significantly different from the more traditional, web-only versions of this popular open source automation platform. If you’re familiar with Jenkins and want to take advantage of the new technologies to transform your legacy pipelines or build new modern, automated continuous delivery environments, this is your book.

From the Publisher
Foreword
By Kohsuke Kawaguchi, Creator of Jenkins
The software development industry is going through a slow but real transformation. Software is increasingly a part of everything, and we, the software developers, are trying to cope with this exploding demand through more automation. I’d imagine you are reading this book because you are a part of that transformation.
To serve you better in this transformation, Jenkins is itself going through a major transformation of its own as well—from the world of 'classic' Jenkins, where you configure Jenkins through a series of jobs from server-rendered GUI, to the world of 'modern' Jenkins, where you configure Jenkins through Jenkinsfiles in Git repositories and look at results through a pleasant single-page application.
As we develop the modern Jenkins in the community and roll out these new features, I keep running into this challenge. Most users are simply unaware of this transformation that’s going on in Jenkins. People keep using Jenkins like they have been doing for years.
And to be fair, it made complete sense. On the one hand is people’s inertia and this massive body of information and knowledge accumulated in Google, Stack Overflow, our mailing lists, issue trackers, and so on that tells people how to effectively use Jenkins the 'classic' way. On the other hand, we have the community that is, generally speaking, too busy building the 'modern' Jenkins; and collectively not enough effort has been spent on telling people how to effectively use Jenkins the modern way.
So I was very happy to hear about this book, which really takes this challenge head on. In this book, Brent steps back and forgets everything we’ve known about Jenkins from the past decade. Then he goes on to reconstruct how Jenkins should be used today. Unlike Google, Stack Overflow, and so on, where knowledge is captured piecemeal, this book gives you a systematic path to explore the whole landscape, which makes it really valuable.
It’s an ideal book for those who are new to CI/CD, as well as those who have been using Jenkins for many years. This book will help you discover and rediscover Jenkins.

Very often, newcomers to the Jenkins space get pigeon-holed into archaic methods of project builds. I'll agree that tried and trued methods should not be shunned away lightly, but how does your project scale? How do you onboard three new teams of developers and 30 new repositories into your lifecycle? Now you've got 500 build jobs with different plug-in dependencies, Java versions, OS dependencies....the nightmare begins!! This book should be a pre-requisite for anyone starting the journey! It does a great job of piecing the architecture together in a manner that allows the reader to step back and look at an automation solution as a whole.
Focus time into pipeline-as-code methodology, explore the JenkinsFile concepts and work smarter, not harder! I should expect most would embrace this revolutionary concept in todays 80 hour work-week.
The unfortunate downside to this publishing are the smattering of low-resolution images throughout the book. I'd say it is about 50/50 but they are really there are reference points to what is being discussed in the text. I don't find it to be a deal-breaker for me when going through the book. I found there are very few things you wouldn't be able to accomplish with the examples Brent has provided here.
If you've read Jenkins: The Definitive Guide, you'll know the content there is 7+ years old and mostly deprecated. Jenkins 2: Up and Running covers concepts that are hot off the presses, and gives you a great starting point to start your journey with CI/CD Automation and Jenkins!
